Washington,
D.C. (October 26, 2010) —Everything But Water, the largest women’s specialty swimwear
chain in the United States is offering a designer women’s t-shirt to benefit LUNGevity Foundation, the nation’s premier grant-making
organization to fund research for the detection, treatment, and cure of lung
cancer. This is the second year Everything But Water has sponsored the
initiative for LUNGevity, with this year’s t-shirt designed by New York based
high-end fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo.

One hundred
percent of profits from t-shirt sales will go to LUNGevity. Lung cancer affects
one in fourteen Americans and kills 160,000 people each year, yet government
and corporate underwriting largely overlook lung cancer research. LUNGevity is
committed to increasing funding for research to find treatment and cures, and
to promote public awareness of the disease. The organization is working to make
lung cancer a priority on the national agenda.

In recognition of Lung Cancer
Awareness Month, the special edition t-shirts will go on sale November 1. They
will be sold at all 57 Everything But Water stores across the county and online
through the store’s website, www.everythingbutwater.com.

Carmen Marc Valvo will make a special
appearance in support of the initiative at the Everything But Water Store
located in Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, Md. on Friday, November 12
from 5 to 8 p.m. EST.

In
addition to all profit from the sale of the special edition t- shirt,
Everything But Water is donating to LUNGevity Foundation an additional 10%
of all purchases made during Carmen Marc Valvo’s appearance.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with
Carmen Marc Valvo this year to help in our efforts to raise money to support
LUNGevity. As a women’s clothing retailer, it is important for us to get
involved in issues that impact women and women’s health. That’s why we
wanted to get involved in the fight against lung cancer. Unfortunately,
too many women die of lung cancer. And not enough is being done to stop
it. We want to help to make a difference,” said Sheila Arnold, President and
CEO of Everything But Water. Lung cancer kills more than 70,000 American
women annually – more than breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers combined.

With
a butterfly design, complete with wings reminiscent of lungs, the three-quarter
length sleeve 100% cotton t-shirts, manufactured in Columbia,S.C., are available in sizes S, M, L
and XL for $36 each. Inscribed on the end of each t-shirt’s right-hand sleeve
is LUNGevity’s tagline, “Find it. Treat it. Live.”

“We are thrilled that Everything But Water is
partnering with us again this year in the fight against lung cancer,” said
Jerry Sorkin, vice-chair of LUNGevity Foundation’s Board of Directors, who as a
non-smoker was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in 2007. “We couldn’t ask
for a more passionate and committed partner than Everything But Water. The Carmen
Marc Valvo designed
t-shirt they will be selling thoughtfully depicts the message of hope that we
offer for lung cancer patients and their families.”
